Flyin’ High…
…for a price. American Airlines announced today that they will start charging fifteen dollars for your first checked bag. This is one way they are combating rising fuel costs. (Another way is by cutting jobs.) So, in honor of the airline I have flown on the last two times I was airborne, here is one “fly” playlist
10. Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch-I’ll Fly Away. “Some bright morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away.” (Make sure you bring 15 bucks if you’re flying American.)
9. Modest Mouse-Fly Trapped in a Jar. ” Well two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar.”
8. Frank Sinatra-Come Fly With Me. “Come fly with me; let’s fly, let’s fly away.”
7. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-Learning to Fly. “I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings.”
6. Steve Miller Band-Fly Like an Eagle. “Gonna fly like an eagle, to the sea.”

Mash-Up by Immuzikation: My Morning Jacket + Hercules and Love Affair + US3
The track is called Suspicious Loop Affair (Immuzikation HurryUpAndLeakAlreadyBlend). Immuzikation has seemed to find a strange balance between the more schizophrenic work of Girl Talk and mashers-up like Mei Lwun. Check out what I mean below:
MP3: Girl Talk-Smash Your Head
MP3: Mei Lwun-Jesus Walked and He’s Black
MP3: Immuzikation-Suspicious Loop Affair (Immuzikation HurryUpAndLeakAlreadyBlend)
